Ma'am, I've been looking all over the Net and asking friends for a meditation technique. Is it so esoteric and such a secret that nobody wants to share it openly? If so you may kindly email me the instructions to learn a technique. I am posting a comment because I did not find a contact email on this website. You may email your response to mojowrites@rediffmail.com
